What to Bring to the Tour
The Everest Base Camp Trek is an unforgettable journey that takes hikers to the base camp of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest. The trek typically takes 12-14 days to complete and passes through the Sagarmatha National Park.
This UNESCO World Heritage site is located in the Solu-Khumbu district of Nepal and covers an area of 124,400 hectares. It is home to Mount Sagarmatha (Everest) and several other peaks over 7,000m, as well as rare species such as the snow leopard and red panda. Gazetted in 1976, SNP is a well-known destination for mountain tourism and also serves as a home to over 2,500 Sherpa people and 20 villages.
Along the way of the Everest base camp trek, you will experience breathtaking views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, as well as the chance to immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of the Sherpa people who call the region home.
The trek starts with an adventurous flight to Lukla, where trekkers will begin their journey on the well-known route to Everest Base Camp. Along the way, trekkers will see stunning views of different places like Namche Bazar, Tengboche Monastery, Kala Patthar, small Sherpa villages, and many prayer flags.
They will also have the opportunity to explore amazing views of Mt. Everest and other Himalayan peaks like Cho Oyu. The trek includes a professional guide and porter (one porter for two people carrying 15 kg) to assist you along the way.
The Everest Base Camp trek is considered moderately difficult, due to the altitude difference, rugged terrain, and variable weather conditions. Trekkers should be in good physical condition and acclimatize properly before starting the trek.
The average daily elevation gain is 400-800m, with the highest point of 5364m above sea level. Accommodation is provided in twin or double sharing in the best mountain lodges and hotels along the route, and three meals a day will be provided during the trek.

A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.
My friend and I went with Triglav Tours for a 3 day, 2 night hike this summer and had the most amazing time!! Our guide, Bine, was awesome and had lots of cool facts to share about the area we were hiking. Additionally, my friend and I had not completed such a technical hike before and the guide and other guests were very patient with us and encouraging, ensuring we felt safe the entire time. The overnights were also such a fun way to get to know Bine, the other guests, and other hikers as well. Cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!!
I arranged a six-day/five-night trip with Hut to Hut Slovenia. It's the first time I've gone with a tour organizer and I can say it went really well. In the past I've arranged huts myself and it is a huge hassle figuring out how to make the bookings, if the bookings actually exist, and what good/viable routes might be. Having this all sort was, at least to me, totally worth it. The routing is via Ride with GPS, which was great. I'd recommend bringing 1:25,000 scale paper maps as a backup, just in case. The huts themselves differ wildly. Some are really rustic with, ahem, interesting toilet facilities. One was accessible by road and thus had showers, a long menu, and even espresso. All will have some sort of food, but you might only have two options for dinner (one with meat, one vegetarian). The cuisine in the Slovenian huts leans strongly to stews and goulashes with minimal fresh vegetables and/or fruit. Certainly good and hearty but pretty much everyone I talked to said the food was better in the Italian and Austrian huts. Some huts are cash only, some take cards (but the card reader might be down). A 1.5 litre bottle of water is about 6 euro, so if you have a beer with dinner and also buy lunch you need to carry about 25-30 euro per day in cash (assuming you have a booking that includes breakfast). Of the six days of hiking, four were ridiculously spectacular, with the highlight being sunrise from Mt Stol. Getting up to the high mountains, though, can be crazy steep, with switchbacks only sparsely used. Descents are similarly tough, and you have to watch every step. For the first time ever I used trekking poles and my knees thank me. Two days were a bit of a slog, but this is probably unavoidable getting up to or down from the high terrain. Would I do something like this again? Yes, absolutely! But next time it will probably be the Dolomites.
We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
